According to National Day Calendar, National Doctor's Day was started by Eudora Brown Almond, a physician's wife, who wanted to have a day to honor physicians. A library database, Black Thought and Culture, has many e-books that mention African-American doctors. For example:

In the e-book Race Adjustment: Essays on the Negro in America (1908. p. 182), Kelly Miller stated that "The success of the colored physician has often been little less than marvelous." But, "The colored lawyer has not been so fortunate as his medical confreres."

Carl Thomas Rowan stated in Just Between Us Blacks (1974, p. 136) that "Eleven per cent of the population of the United States is black. Only 2 per cent of the doctors are black." And, "Negro dentists are even more scarce."
